Popular Nigerian skit maker Craze Clown has shared his frustration about a friend’s therapy clinic in Lagos that has failed to attract any clients, even after being open for over a year.
According to Crazy Clown, his friend moved back to Nigeria to help people with their mental health, but things didn’t go as planned. Instead of getting therapy, some people come to the clinic just to beg for money. One even ended up fighting with the therapist during a session.
Craze Clown posted the story on social media, and it quickly got people talking. Many shared their worries and thoughts about why therapy is not yet taken seriously by many Nigerians.
See some reactions about Crazy Clown below:
@itzpetkoff: “Those kind business dont boom here, minus the poverty, we have a more social environment that already offers that therapy. Football centers with better noise. Restaurant and Bars with better groove. Betting Centers. There is enough therapy to go round.”
@salim_dakingari: “Therapist enter Naija, end up becoming a part-time counselor, part-time philanthropist, full-time warrior. Therapy no easy when your client dey fight both demons and debt.”
@GeniusHawlah: “Wetin Nigerians wan use therapy do? 😂😂Na same thing with autograph, na Oyinbo thing 😂Just gimme money and I go dey OK.”
@defgreat: “You can’t fix minds that are still trying to feed mouths. Nigeria humbles professions.”
@EgbeAsa: “This is actually the funniest story I’ve ever read. I don’t think your friend knew this is Nigeria in the first place lol. Nigerians will go to a 5 star restaurant to ask for a tip or maybe some free food, without any shame or even hesitation.”
@sam_strongest: “Therapy for Nigeria? 85% of the problems Nigerians face is due to the lack of purchasing power. If everyone is doing well financially (which isn’t possible ), a lot will not be depressed, angry or have suicidal thoughts.”
@Truthunleashed3: “Nigerians would be ok generally if the economy was booming. The loneliness that complicates mental problems over there isn’t here so much. The only challenges here are financial dipressive psychosis and hungerphrenia.”
